In a totally unexpected move Mahomes leads the Chiefs to victory in OT.

Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on February 11, 2024, 04:43:09 PMI've been watching it. What do you mean by "you have to stomp KC with extreme prejudice to beat them"? Sorry. but often I am not understanding what you are meaning.

PD

I mean if the game is close Mahomes will do what he has done so often and lead a comeback to win in the last few minutes.

I also dislike both teams, but would prefer to see the Chiefs lose.

She is certainly well-known, though she has never held a concert here (nor do I expect her to do).

Missed PAT. Super Bowl. It's gonna be a long six months for that kicker.

Yes, but at least it is not at the end of the game and he did make two long field goals. Can't imagine it being worse than it was for Scott Norwood.

Every once in a while something like that has to happen to show that the PAT actually means something

That extra point would have won it for the Niners.

Good game! I have to admit I didn't understand the OT rules though.

From what I understand (and I didn't see it in slo-mo...and remember, I don't watch a lot of football) that kick was blocked (comment by the commentators on CBS). To be fair, was that due to something that he did wrong, or his team members not keeping away the other team while he was doing his job, or a combo?

55 yards I believe for one? Just googled Scott Norwood...what a heartbreak for him.

It was one of two game-changing mistakes made by the 49ers' Special team. The other one was the fumble on the punt return. The Chiefs scored a go-ahead touchdown on the next play.

Congrats to The Chiefs and their fans. Despite OT it was a fairly predictable KC win (knew it would be close and that KC had the experienced edge). I liked the second half of the halftime show - sort of like a Hip Hop/R&B Barnum & Bailey act. I can it understand it not being to everyone's taste but you can't deny that whoever directed that thing has skills.

Til next year!

No NFL interest this year? Being a New Jersey native the only bright light I see on the NFL horizon are the Eagles and Bills. Bills, of course, are personal faves but the Birdz (a family fave) look promising, though they usually crap out (that 2023 SB loss was worse than the recent Game 5 (5th inning) Yankee meltdown). Sorry I missed The Jets Halloween victory over the Texans but I heard someone crack on YouTube how surprised they were to find 12 minutes of highlights for that one.

Watching the Bills take on Miami. Seems like a Prime Time match but I seem unable can't call that anymore.

Best rendition of the national anthem ever.

The Pats are practically starting from scratch this year. Their biggest problem is their ramshackle offensive line that has hampered the running game and failed to protect the QB. Drake Maye is living up to expectations as a major talent. With better protection he can get the Pats into the playoffs next year.

Huge Mid-Atlantic snowstorm made Gov. Hochul declare a state of weather emergency for upstate New York, which is all the lunatic Bills fans need to come out in droves for tomorrow's match with the visiting 49ers. Should be fun.

I'm rooting for Buffalo today. Josh Allen is better than even ever and I want to see him play against KC.
